This month for the Power Drive team has been very busy, a lot
to get done in a short amount of time. However, we were able to complete the S
car before the Big Red Invitational.
On Saturday, April 7,
2012, we hosted the Cuming County Open. We helped organize the parents asking
them to contribute to the concession stand in preparations and working the
stand. Several days were spent
contacting people to work the corners, count laps, throw bails, and inspect
cars. The day was a huge success
including the win by our E class car.
Saturday, April 14 we
attended the Wayne Spring Rally at the First National Center in Wayne. One
again, we were able to pull of a first place in the E Division.
Saturday, April 21
was out first meet to enter both the E and the S car. Our team attended the Big
Red Invitational. The S car received 3rd place and the E car
received 4th. Our team made a fatal mistake with choosing which gear
to use on the E car. It made it difficult for the driver to keep up with the
other participants. The S car also had its own problems. The cars front right
wheel was struck by another driver causing the spindles to break, forcing us to
drive with caution.
Our next race is the champion ship race
on May 5th, held at Warner Park in Omaha, NE. We have done a lot to
prepare for this big race and hope to come home with another state
championship.
The documentation
team completed the book, “One Small Step for Bancroft-Rosalie, One Giant Leap
for a Greener Planet.” In addition
to documentation, the team has been busy writing and sending thank you letters
to all who have contributed their time to help make the Power Drive team more
successful.
